Description
Book SynopsisAssessment and Control of VOC Emissions from Waste Treatment andDisposal Facilities Thomas T. Shen, Ph.D., Charles Schmidt, Ph.D.,and Thomas Card The complications surrounding Volatile OrganicCompound (VOC) emissions have emerged as a matter of increasingenvironmental attention and concern, due largely to the hugequantities involved, their known toxicity, and their suspectedcarcinogenicity. Assessment and Control of VOC Emissions from WasteTreatment and Disposal Facilities is the first book to boththoroughly explore the topic and present the entire range ofenvironmentally and economically viable solutions. The authorsaddress the most recent developments, the newest applications, andthe latest methodological advances in the field. The book includessections on:
* waste characterizations, such as vapor pressure, solubility,molecular weights, and more
* emission mechanisms including volatilization, hydrolysis,photodecomposition, biodegradation, and incineration
* various types
